MadisonBandMan1 Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 What do you think the top ten bands in the city of San Antonio? I'm just curious about this. Quote

At Yamaha cup last year Judson edged us out by a tenth of a point and tookvthe win (we were pissed, and some Judson kids said they were shocked), and then we beat them at SA by like more than a point from what I can remember. I wonder why you put Stevens there, and where is southwest? Quote

What about New Braunfels? They actually made Area D finals. Quote

I wonder why you put Stevens there, and where is southwest? I put Stevens there because they were only a few spots out of BOA Austin finals which is generally the most stacked Texas regional outside of San Antonio, as well as the fact that they made TMC and area finals. I left out Southwest because I am not familiar with their competitive history. Quote
whitewing09 Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 I'm still a little confused.. I understand that new Braunfels isn't in San Antonio city limits, but isn't it considered part of the SA metropolitan area? Quote
MadisonBandMan1 Posted July 30, 2017 Author Posted July 30, 2017 I believe it's considered a part of the Austin area, otherwise it is stand-alone. Quote

zururoua Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 New Braunfels, Seguin, and San Marcos could technically be considered part of SA. I live in San Antonio as well (near CTJ and Ronald Reagan), I wouldn't say they necessarily are, but I predict that in the next 15-20 years San Antonio and Austin will be conjoined by these cities in the same vein of the DFW metroplex. The cities between are some of the fastest growing in the country. Quote
Aardvark in NB Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 To those asking about whether NB is related to SA- It really just depends on who you ask when. There is some empty space between us going down I-35, and we don't really consider ourselves part of the SA met, but when non-Texas residents ask me where I live, I always just say San Antonio. Quote

New Braunfels is a city in Comal and Guadalupe counties in the U.S. state of Texas. It is the seat of Comal County[5] and is a principal city of the San Antonio–New Braunfels metropolitan statistical area. Quote
scoobydoo Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 There is so much growth from just north of Austin down to SA. Everything is starting to blend together. Quote
Aardvark in NB Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Yep, in 20 or 30 years, SA and Austin will join together, and NB will be caught in between like Arlington in the DFW area Quote

Exactly. Maybe it will be a part of SA in the next 10 years, but for now it's not. I have always heard it as either stand-alone or a part of Austin just like San Marcos is. Quote

MadisonBandMan1 Posted July 30, 2017 Author Posted July 30, 2017 OK. Thank you for the clarification. Can we please move back into the topic and stop arguing? Quote
Aardvark in NB Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Sorry, didn't realize it got this heated. By all means, let us continue: 1. Reagan 2. CTJ 3. Churchill 4. Madison 5. Judson MadisonBandMan1 1 Quote

Will it be close again, or will there be some separation? Quote
